this game has so many issues, i don't recommend it. and it also feels very lacking and bland. i wasn't having fun with it as a speedrunning game, and approaching it at a slower pace was not great either. movement feels bad, deaths and mistakes often felt like the fault of how the character controls rather than my own fault. some of the level design makes it feel like there are intentional 'surprise deaths'. like the …

The stages over many puzzle and precision platforming sections with many secrets to uncover, you get combo points beating challenges inside each stage which affect your overall rank in the stage. The bullet time element was very fun …

Fast and fluid platformer that is easy to pick up and play, but with a high skill ceiling. Levels range from easy to quite challenging, and they're short enough that you'll want to replay them to get a better time. Very strong visuals and presentation! 10/10 would overthrow the aristocracy again

Sacre Bleu is fast, elegant, and just the right amount of unhinged. Sacre Bleu borrows the most fun mechanics from games like Ori and the Blind Forest—fast traversal, slick combat, tight controls—and crams them all into the first hour. It doesn’t hold your hand. Instead of slowly introducing one mechanic at a time, it throws you into the deep end with nothing to loose. The result? A slightly steep learning curve, …

Have only just started playing, but DAMN this is fun! The visuals are beatiful, and the music is top notch. But the great controls are what did it for me. Difficult jumps are made easy with the Steam blaster, and the game encourages you to rack up combo shots and jumps! The quick intro-level introduces you to all concepts you need to know very quickly! IMHO, it works best with a controller, have not tested with a …

93% of the 46 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Sacre Bleu. The complaint that keeps coming up: some find movement and controls frustrating. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

58 of 58 · most liked firstI bought this game on a referral from a friend who stated that one of the creators has a diverse ability (is a power chair user) Support diverse abilities. It is a good game, easily accessible. I have a diverse ability myself and some games are too challenging. This game was easy to control the characters and move through the stages with my controller. I only played the first level and other levels look more challenging, which looks fun and makes me want to play more.

Do you yearn for 16th century France, but thought the time period was lacking in the steampunk department? Well, you’re in luck! Sacre Bleu deliveres incredibly fun and tight platforming, akin to that of Super Meat Boy and Oni, but with new mechanics to make it a completely unique experience. I’m no platforming prodigy by any means, so I had to endure watching the death count often creep deep into the double…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't really had fun with platformers since Broforce, but this is awesome. I can just jump around and hang for days. I'll gladly buy it again if it comes to PS5.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and dynamic. The game engages from the first moment. The art is very beautiful and makes you want to go around every corner. The use of the blunderbuss is brilliant. Very fun game so far!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a charming game! Highly recommend it if you enjoy fast-paced platformers with an amazing art style and tight controls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an excellent platformer, the bullet time feature is great and they do make great use of it. I particularly liked the graphics and game worlds they made, there's a great sense of immersion and they constantly add new enemies or mechanics. Not to mention that you can also speedrun every level as well. Highly recommended, love the game and can't wait to play more :)

neutral · AI labelView post →First thing that comes to mind: the gameplay is rich. You can * deflect attacks like Ori’s Bash, * throw enemies (very satisfying when it creates "bowling ball" effect) * shoot with bullet‑time precision, * toss grenades, and more. To encourage you to use all of these mechanics, there’s a scoring system. The game is far more ambitious and deeper than it first appears. The backgrounds are gorgeous, and I really appreciate the Rayman‑esque, cartoony character designs. Exactly like the latest…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →@64bithero Every face button on the controller is mapped to "surrender". #OhHoHo #SacreBleu #ClairObscur
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not bad but gets a bit stale after a bit. Its unique using the blunderbuss to move around, although it sometimes can be finnicky in practice. Theres fighting but its basically useless since you can just skip the fights. It's nice how the game can be made for speedrunners and has scoring but also isn't forced on you for people like me who couldn't possibly care less. It is dumb how secrets are required to progress further in the game, that makes no sense. Also I did run into some bugs that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sacre Bleu is a very enjoyable and whimsical platformer that surprised me in many ways. I was at first apprehensive about it due to the trailer emphasising how it is tailored towards speedrunning, but that it just one facet of the experience. Each level has you dashing and slashing through a beautiful and whimsical take on the Bastille, dispatching bands of foes and navigating puzzles of increasing complexity, all while being bombarded by the most silly of puns. The controls are both…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you ever so much everyone who attended the stream! It was great having you there for the second half of Sacre Bleu by Hildring Studio! It was a fantastic game and I'm very happy to have played it. I'll be looking forward to seeing how the game continues to grow!
positive · AI labelView post →Intuitive controls and a smooth way of encouraging the player to use many different tools in combat. Super fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been following Steins' work on Sacré Bleu for years, and I'm extremely happy to see it coming to life. It was worth the wait. It's truly engaging, still with simple mechanics, with tons of funny dialogues and spectacular hand-made art. Highly recommended!!

Fortunately dev quite fair on few very challenging platform part such as soup boss, where mc respawn not from very beginning. Story is barely so so and seems cut short. I wish this as metroidvania with variety of upgrade and bigger story, but instead this is just a short platform game. I beat around 4 hours. Graphic and OST is alright. Gameplay is a bit fun. Actually I am a bit Mixed with this game, but since there is no…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little bullet time shooter about a French man who was framed on false charges. Combat is very fun and as the game advertises seems to be a good game for speedrunners I am not one of those people lol, but I enjoy it regardless.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really bad game design here. Even the basic attack grinds time to a halt to use it. If the game was designed around quick movement, it would have been much better. Difficulty spikes are everywhere, checkpoints can be pretty sparse at times. The game will offer no challenge 80% of the time. A ton of obstacles can be easily cheesed. It's the kind of game where the camera will zoom in and kill the player, but then the level easy beaten the next try. Really think it would have been Better if the…

It delivers an energetic experience where every jump, attack, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Like the vibe of this game, fun and fast paced, easy to pick on and play. It's on the shorter side but it's worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good indie game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good fun! Pleasantly silly, a fun platforming gimmick, and a simple combat system that builds into some genuinely awesome, and chaotic fights. I'm not a speed running kinda guy, so my time with this is likely done now that I've beaten the final boss; but it's kept me well entertained and frustrated for the 5 hours I spent with it. My only warning is that this isn't optimised for mouse and keyboard (there can be trouble tracking the mouse at the very edges of the screen), but you can muddle…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible fast-paced action platformer What sets this game apart from many other platformers is that performing well in the combat sequences will give you a bonus in the form of a time deduction - so you can earn up to 10 seconds of time just taken off your timer per combat. This means that you not only have to get from A to B, you have to carefully plan out the combat sequences and manage your ammunition to achieve the best time. I think this game is a great take on the action-platformer…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Baguette! This is such a fun and charming game with smooth controls and some real cool challenges. The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up on, so you can grab your blunderbuss and blast your way right into the fun craziness.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a lot of fun. The bullet time mechanic is genuinely engaging and kept me coming back, it’s simple, but addictive. The level design is well done and makes getting through tough sections feel satisfying without being frustrating. The game’s quirk and humor come through nicely in the art and environment design, giving it a lot of personality without trying too hard. There are plenty of creative ways to take down enemies, and the game actually rewards you for trying different…

Speedrunners will have a blast puzzling out each level for the shortest route and the story is a cute mystery to uncover. recommended for sure!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun platformer and engaging! The slow mo feature is a nice touch for aiming, and the attack moves are just the right amount to not over-complicate the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am really enjoying Sacre Bleu so far. I like the cartoony graphics and that the setting is not yet another viking, medieval or samurai world. The settings is revolutionary France. Lots of musketeer antics. You've got a sword, a blunderbuss and jumpy legs to work with. I find the mechanics refreshing. Easy to understand, but difficult to master. You need the right timing and also the right strategy. It's not a button masher. You have to think.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favourite part of this game is using the blunderbuss and chaining together actions in combat. Its super satisfying, and smooth in a kind of addictive way. There are some really fun level challenges the require some quick thinking kind of like Celeste. The art style really stands out for me, its super charming. And some of the music is really unique and creates a cool vibe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's got a great set of mechanics that combine for some really fun game play. The platforming has just the right amount of difficulty. It's a challenge, but is also doable with being tedious and frustrating. If you like platforming and being able to use a blunderbuss as both locomotion and simultaneously redirect enemy projectiles back at them, then this is the game for you!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really impressed with the polished art style and clever intuitive mechanics. Its a super fun game and I cant wait to play more. I definitely recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reminds me of the old school platformers from when I was a kid. Love the animation and art direction!
